Does the sentence Erica and Eric are the same height and in the same grade contain a predicate adjective?
A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) modifies the subject like other descriptive adjectives, but it must follow a linking verb in a sentence.The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of the verb is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister) or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).In the sample sentence, the verb 'are' is the linking verb with a compound object. The object 'height' is a noun and in the prepositional phrase 'in the same grade', also the object of the verb, the object 'grade' is also a noun.So, the objects of the linking verb are nouns, not predicate adjectives. You could mistake the adjectives 'same' as the predicate adjectives, but they are not the objects of the verb, they are describing the objects.
